NuScale Power Nears Breakthrough in Small Modular Nuclear Reactor Market
NuScale Power (SMR 16.36%), founded in 2007 to commercialize small modular nuclear reactors, stands on the verge of a historic milestone. After securing Nuclear Regulatory Commission certifications for its 50 MW (2023) and 77 MW (May 2025) units, the company has begun production of 12 modular reactors—positioning itself to secure its first commercial order by year-end.
The $10 billion market cap firm, backed by majority investor Fluor Corporation (FLR 5.12%), could redefine energy infrastructure. Small nuclear reactors—long hampered by cost and regulatory hurdles—now face their first real-world test. Success WOULD validate decades of research and open floodgates for scalable, carbon-free energy solutions.
